I’ve only recently moved to a brand modern city, in a brand modern state, and life here has been generally the same, but I am learning a few modern ins and outs of living in this temperature.
For instance, I can expect it to rain most days because the air gets so warm and humid that a thunderstorm will break.
The morninglight then returns and reheats the air to an even higher degree, including even more moisture into the already muggy temperature. Another modern factor for me is the prolific amount of pollen that is released during the Spring months here. Apparently it is so heavy that it causes people who never suffered from flu symptoms before in their lives to abruptly be sensitive to pollen spores in the air; I found this out the strenuous way when it happened to me, in fact. The only solution at the time was to keep our windows closed, rely on air conditioning system to keep the apartment somewhat comfortable, and take OTC dust sensitivity medicine around the clock to combat any pollen that made its way into our indoor air. This strategy was not foolproof, and I promised myself that I would find a better solution this year for the pollen burst. That’s why I’ve had a modern filtration component installed on our existing Heating and Air Conditioning system. The complementary system links up to the normal air intake, and passes my indoor air through an extra set of air filters before sending it through the A/C as usual. It removes most of the pollen particulates, and I can breathe simple again!
